Chris Colclough
Head of Wealth Management, Guernsey
About Chris
My key responsibility is providing leadership to the Portfolio Management and Stockbroking teams in Guernsey. I advise, and actively manage portfolios, for a diverse range of individuals, trustees, family offices, professional intermediaries, captive insurance, fund and Government entities on strategies to achieve their investment goals. My aim is to improve our client’s knowledge, understanding and access to financial investments in order to ultimately help investors grow their wealth with confidence.
At a more strategic level, I am also a member of the firm's International Executive Committee and Divisional Risk Committee. In this role I contribute to the development of our international business strategy and operational resilience.
My investment career started with a bang; the week of the Asian Crisis in July 1997. It has been intriguing and eventful ever since; an endless journey of learning. None more so than during my 8 years as an Associate Director/Fund Manager at HSBC Global Asset Management. Crucially, this involved dealing with ultra-high net worth Asian families and a Sovereign Wealth Fund as clients through the boom/bust cycle of 'the noughties’.
